Building Rserve fails

It should be noted that Rcloud depends on Rserve 1.7 for at least two reasons: the option --RS-source and the .conf option http.port where older versions have port.

Those are very minor points compared to the fact that Rserve 0.x doesn't support any of the needed protocols ;).

I could not get Rserve 1.7 to build on OSX (neither could Rforge).

malecki$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)

Even setting CFLAGS= -fnested-functions in the R Makeconf, I get new errors:

Rserv.c:2913: error: invalid storage class for function ‘setup_signal_handlers’
Rserv.c:2923: error: invalid storage class for function ‘restore_signal_handlers’
Rserv.c:3298: error: expected declaration or statement at end of input

Just a missing }, now fixed.

Hack

I downloaded the binary package that Simon managed to build (how?! how?? just old gcc? I may try rebuilding R with clang to see if that works).

It is the last successful build.

Cheers,
Simon

I hacked the meta/package.rds to pretend that it had been built on x86_64-apple-darwin12.0.0 instead of universal-apple-darwin9.8.0.

@s-u, any insight on the -fnested-functions? That change to R Makeconf still required to build it as far as I can tell.

It is not needed - that's just gcc spewing misleading error messages when you have {} mismatch.

RCloud currently depends on the RForge version of RServe (because of some new authentication things). It'll have to do for the time being. I updated the README.md to reflect this, and added more things there as well. Closing this issue for now.
